MICHAEL: AND A CROSS INSIDE A MEMORIAL FOR A MAN KILLED DURING THE CONSTRUCTION OF A CITY BUILDING. GABRIELLE: MANDY HAS MORE. MANDY: THE MAYOR ANNOUNCED HE HAD NO INTENTION OF REMOVING THE MEMORIAL. IT IS A CROSS BUILT INTO THE STONEWORK OUTSIDE THE SENECA WATER TREATMENT LANCE, A SMALL GESTURE HONORING THE LIFE OF CHUCK KEELER. THERE WAS A LETTER SENT, ASKING FOR THE CROSS TO BE REMOVED, SAYING THE MEMORIAL NEEDED TO BE RELIGIOUSLY NEUTRAL, AND SENECA MAYOR DAN ALEXANDER SAYS THE CROSS IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE. >> WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL THEY ARE STANDING BY US. MANDY: FOR ASHLEY C ANTRELL, THE FIGHT TO TAKE DOWN HER FATHER'S MEMORI L HAS ONLY OPENED UP A WOUND THAT HAS NOT HAD TIME TO HEAL. THE MAYOR SAID, WHILE I APPRECIATE THE CONCERN THAT SOME MAY THINK THIS DISPLAY TO BE AN ADVERTISEMENT BY A PUBLIC BODY OF A CERTAIN RELIGION, IT IS MY OPINION THAT THIS MEMORIAL AND REMEMBRANCE TO LIFE LOST, WHICH IS LOCATED AT AN OPERATING FACILITY, BEHIND A LOCKED FENCE, UNSEEN FROM PUBLIC VIEW, IS UNSEEN -- IS ANYTHING BUT A RELIGIOUS ENDORSEMENT.
